Umm, help me not throw money down the toilet

So I got a Samsung Ativ S on Windows, and silly me, I installed the latest update on it. Big mistake, my phone won't turn on now, I mean it does but it's only showing the windows icon on it, thats it. Any advice on what should I do? I mean I don't wanna throw an almost one year old phone, away.
Curse all updates ( except the disco one )

Don't you have a warranty with your device?

Yes i do, but apparently it's not valid, the answer I got is that there is physically nothing wrong with the phone, its a software issue, so the warranty does not apply.

Uhhh, try contacting Windows then.

Not sure if it will work but you could try Nokia Software Recovery Tool, that's the risk in choosing a windows phone,don't do the same mistake again

After hours of research and failed attempts I finally managed to reset it. Lost what I had on it , but still at least it works.

I did some digging and found a software, well more like a handful of softwares from windows that used together help you reset the phone to factory settings. Saved them in case i need them again
